It's why he's been upvoted. Lemmy's centrists are genocide hawks.

Another data point in favor of the Novikov self-consistency principle?

Biden promised to reschedule, and it was a lie. The war on drugs has been a bipartisan effort, and it disproportionately harms minorities. Not only that, it was designed to harm minorities from the very beginning.

John Ehrlichman, one of the architects of the war on drugs:

We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news.

Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.”

Don't call me couchfucker again just because you don't like how I characterize your favorite policy.

In the context of broken promises by the Biden administration regarding the bipartisan proxy war against minorities that we call the war on drugs.

So since they're gonna keep doing that no matter what, why should I bother with accuracy about them? They sure as fuck never have about me.

Far as I'm concerned, they're all in on the war on drugs and are delighted at all the lives it's ruined because it's disproportionately harmed minorities.

If they keep saying the worst about me, there's no reason at all to extend greater courtesy to them.

If I have to pick one item, a breakfast taco with chorizo, egg, and cheese.

We already discussed this, you can say I was a little ahead of the ball.

No, you say that because you got caught lying.

Has cannabis been rescheduled?

But I wasn’t calling being anti-genocide insanity

If you say so.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Someday, someone who is more convincing than I am will convince you that any words that aren't support for genocide and only genocide aren't utter insanity.

[-] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

If it hasn't been rescheduled, it's a lie to say it has been rescheduled.

The true factor is that Israel is a solid foothold for the US in the Middle East long term.

Well, that's the excuse.

Don’t absolve Biden and the US of our level of culpability by reducing us to followers led astray by Netanyahu

Led astray? No. Enthusiastically complicit.
